Description:

The Bennington Battle Monument in Bennington, Vermont, was completed in 1891 to commemorate the Battle of Bennington, a pivotal American victory during the Revolutionary War in 1777. Standing 306 feet tall, it is the tallest man-made structure in Vermont and was built from locally quarried limestone. Visitors today can go inside the monument and take an elevator to the observation level for sweeping views of Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York.
